Skid steer final drive oil: what type should I use?
Expert Answer
For a skid steer final drive, use the gear oil grade specified by your machine manufacturer and follow the service interval in the operator’s manual. If you are replacing a complete final drive assembly from VANROCK Drives, it ships fully assembled, filled with oil, and ready to bolt on. We sell brand-new OEM-specification final drive and travel motor replacements online at vanrockdrives.com, with fast free shipping, duties and shipping included, no core charges, and a Limited Lifetime Warranty. If your machine is a Caterpillar, Bobcat, Komatsu, Kubota, or another OEM brand, VANROCK Drives is an independent supplier and is not affiliated with that manufacturer. If you’re unsure whether you need a top-off, a drain-and-refill, or a full replacement, the safest first step is to identify the exact model and side of the drive.
